6 Maintenance and cleaning
Service life of the product extends and frequently faced problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.
Cleaning the detergent drawer
Clean the detergent drawer at regular intervals (every 4-5 washing cycles) as shown below in order to prevent accumulation of powder detergent in time.
1. Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.
C If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the 
siphon must be cleaned.
2.  Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. Wear protective gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid touching of the residues in the drawer with your skin when cleaning.
3. Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.
Cleaning the loading 
door and the drum
Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may accumulate in your machine in time and may cause unpleasant odours and washing complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum Cleaning programme. If your machine is not featured with Drum Cleaning programme, use Cottons-90 programme and select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well. 
Before starting the programme, put max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent compartment (compartment nr. II). If the anti-limescale 
is in tablet form, put only one tablet into compartment nr. II. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the programme has come to an end. 
C Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months.
C Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines. 
After every washing make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum.
If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.
C Foreign metal substances in your machine will cause rust stains. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool 
or wire wool.
Cleaning the body 
and control panel
Wipe the body of the machine with soapy water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth.
Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.
A Never use sponge or scrub materials. These will damage the painted and plastic surfaces.
Cleaning the water 
intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected 
to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters 
should be cleaned as they do get dirty.
